OBJECTIVES
 To provide a fundamental understanding of programming in Python by
creating a variety of scripts.
 To give essential knowledge on various data types, functions, loops and
expressions.
 To develop python applications for the Web and for systems design.

COURSE OUTCOMES
 Characterise the basic data types, variables and loop commands
 Apply function and stings to build python program for string and data manipulations.
 Apply the basic command to operate files to handle large data.
 Apply library functions for numerical data manipulation, arrays and image and video
manipulations.
 Create a python program to operate the Arduino and Raspberry Pi based applications.
